1. Do you mostly drink tap, filtered, or bottled water? Filtered water, using a Brita filter.

2. Is it safe/recommended to drink tap water where you live? If not, why? It is safe where I live, in general. Last year many of us got letters telling us that if we have an old lead supply pipe we should run cold water for three to five minutes in the morning or when we have not used the water for six hours. This was very concerning for us, but not enough to push me to replace the pipe. Yet.

3. What does the tap water taste/smell like where you live? I can't describe the taste but is distinctive. I can't claim that it tastes like nothing. It is treated and has fluoride so maybe I can call it a chemical taste. It's an acquired taste for sure.

4. Do you collect rainwater? If so, what do you use it for? No, no need for this since droughts here are infrequent so far.

5. Do you/have you ever had restrictions on water use where you live? What did you have to change about your lifestyle? No.
